If your driveway is sinking, cracking or letting weeds through, prompt repairs prevent bigger costs later. We carry out targeted fixes across SW16, including around Pollards Hill Library and South Lodge Avenue. Whether it’s loose blocks, failed joints or standing water after rain, we’ll diagnose the cause and put it right. Expect neat edges, clean lines and a surface that feels solid underfoot.
Pollards Hill is a quiet residential area with excellent local amenities and green spaces, and many driveways here serve 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes. These properties often have older sub-bases, mixed surfacing and narrow access that needs careful planning. We regularly help homeowners across Norbury, Mitcham and Streatham Vale with repairs that match existing materials and patterns. The aim is simple: make the driveway look consistent, not “patched together”.
Our process starts with an on-site inspection, then we recommend the most cost-effective repair option—block paving repairs, re-sanding, re-sealing, repointing, or tarmac patching. We prepare the base properly, compact where needed, and finish with clean joints and even levels. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption and keep access practical for residents and deliveries. Local homeowners trust us for clear communication, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying repairs.
We’re used to the access and parking realities around Pollards Hill Recreation Ground and nearby residential streets. In the London Borough of Merton, drainage and surface water run-off can be a concern, so we prioritise falls, channels and permeable options where appropriate. Many driveways here have older edging and shallow build-ups, so we repair without raising levels that could affect thresholds. We also keep waste removal and site cleanliness tight to suit close neighbours and shared paths.

Costs vary with the surface type, the size of the damaged area and whether the sub-base needs rebuilding. As a guide, small block paving repairs and re-sanding typically start from £150–£350, while larger re-levelling and repointing jobs are often £400–£1,200. Tarmac patching and pothole repairs commonly fall between £250–£900 depending on depth and preparation. We’ll provide a clear written quote after a site visit.
Most minor repairs—such as replacing a few blocks, re-sanding joints, or a small pothole repair—can be completed in half a day to one day. Larger areas that need lifting, re-compacting the base, or drainage fixes usually take 1–3 days. Drying and curing times also matter: sealants and some tarmac finishes may need 24–48 hours before parking. Access, weather and material matching can affect scheduling.
In most cases, driveway repairs are classed as maintenance and don’t need planning permission. Rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, changing how water drains to the street, or installing a new impermeable surface over a certain size. In the London Borough of Merton, managing surface water run-off is especially important, so we’ll advise on compliant drainage solutions. If permission or a dropped-kerb application is relevant, we’ll flag it early.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying driveway repairs, covering workmanship issues such as sinking caused by inadequate compaction, failed jointing where specified, or premature movement in repaired sections. The warranty depends on the repair type and site condition—some cosmetic items or pre-existing structural problems may be excluded. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before work starts. Proper aftercare, such as avoiding harsh chemicals, helps keep the surface looking its best.
We can repair and blend with existing block paving (including brindle, charcoal and traditional reds), or patch and re-finish tarmac to suit the surrounding area. For block paving, options include kiln-dried sand re-sanding, resin-based jointing compounds, and re-sealing for colour enhancement and stain resistance. We also repair edging, repointing and drainage channels to sharpen the overall look. We’ll recommend the best approach based on wear, shade matching and budget.
